Just because you drive past Glencairn's stadium to go and support your glory-hunting big team doesn't mean you should encourage others to do the same. Lol-ok some of it is closer to you guys! If only we had some glory as the cabinet hasn’t been bulging in recent years… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You been impressed with the new signings and think you'll be up challenging on all fronts?

All of King's Park is right beside Rutherglen, it's about three times the distance (and possible more) to Newlands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to be every day a new signing being announced and seems like a massive overhaul I think we have made some good signings but fear that Maxi will have so many options it won’t be easy to settle a strongest 11 early enough.Too much choice and too little time as you can’t start poorly in this league -if you do it’s a big ask recovering. I would have liked to have retained Stuart McCann and Del Esplin and let Rumsby go but there are some things you can’t control. I suspect overall it is a rebuilding season with such huge changes and would be surprised if we win anything so Lok fans will need to be patient-not a quality they are known for unfortunately …. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantar fasciitis Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Lots of teams in the same boat , Talbot, Meadow, Darvel , Arthurlie to name but a few so they might just surprise you. Better having a larger squad of quality than not. But as you say finding his best 11 and keeping them all happy will be the tough bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off big kudos for using the term 'new Scots', tells us a lot about you as a person and it's positives. A number of the new Scots come from footballing countries and you never know they might have experience in administering a club in their birth country. Clubs can reach out to them and engage with them; it's almost a win-win for both. New blood at clubs and a massive way of the new Scots becoming an integral part of their new community. #we are all Scots. It definitely pays dividends to build bridges, but it's unlikely the nature of the experience of transplanting yourself to a new country would leave someone with sufficient free time to get involved in the administration of a club. There's definitely a pool of talent player-wise out there though, although it has to be said transience again plays a part and it's rare for players to stay very long at a club before they require to move for work or whatever. Certainly for us it's led to some odd situations, not least last season when we had a current full internationalist turn out for us as a trialist in a bounce game who'd left his previous club at the start of the winter break and was signing for another club in January. He was over here on holiday visiting friends in the period in between and asked to train...we had a friendly booked and were short of bodies sooo... I can also remember the fun and games trying to get international clearance for a Georgian midfielder...the documentation came back from Tbilisi in Georgian which looks like this 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Interesting to note that Google now lists the fixtures when you search for a club, for each tier 6 league under the title Scottish Feeder Leagues, including the South Challenge Cup but not Junior Cup. https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tTP1TcwLUgzzzNg9OLPKC3KScsvSlEozcssSU0BAHvvCVg&q=hurlford+united&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqDQgBEC4YgwEYsQMYgAQyEAgAEAAYgwEY4wIYsQMYgAQyDQgBEC4YgwEYsQMYgAQyBwgCEAAYgAQyBwgDEAAYgAQyBggEEEUYOTINCAUQABiDARixAxiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIHCAkQABiABNIBCTExMTg5ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#sie=t;/m/05pf7n;2;/g/11q9d6rq1d;mt;fp;1;;; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Pennel Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Yup,...very, very, "interesting" how Google lists fixtures. Or, for most of the rest of us...Zzzz,Zzzz,Zzzz. Next time I rock up to Blair Park I'll make sure I remind them how much their fixture list excites the populace. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Contamination, what does that even mean - is there a thin layer of radioactive waste sitting on top of all the surfaces or something? Because it looks ready, just sitting and waiting for people to play football. Edited July 19, 2023 by Ginaro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
